Mark Rober just set up one of the most interesting self-driving tests of 2025, and he did it by imitating Looney Tunes. The former NASA engineer and current YouTube mad scientist recreated the classic gag where Wile E. Coyote paints a tunnel onto a wall to fool the Road Runner.

Only this time, the test subject wasn’t a cartoon bird… it was a self-driving Tesla Model Y.

The result? A full-speed, 40 MPH impact straight into the wall. Watch the video and tell us what you think!

    Thanks no I hadn’t. Is that available as a Firefox extension. I do most of my browsing on desktop.

      The link is right there, you could’ve just clicked it instead of taking the time to write this question?!

        OK I see it now, a bunch of icons I usually glance over, because such “icon lines” are generally for a bunch of social media crap I don’t use.
        Apparently it’s proprietary crap, so no thanks anyway.

            6 hour trial, sounds like proprietary to me.

            Privacy Note: Other than intially checking your license key, no requests to DeArrow servers contain your license key.

            Edit: I just read the entire text, and it is actually very reasonable, I just caught the license key thing together with the payment option. It’s actually even cheap, so maybe I’ll consider it.

              You cannot be serious?! Are you trolling?

              • First of all, something not being free (as in gratis) does not mean it is proprietary per se.

              • Second of all, your reading comprehension failed you again:

                However, if you cannot, or do not want to pay, you can click the button at the bottom to use DeArrow for free. No worries if you can’t or don’t want to pay :)

        The link in a comment that wasn’t for me? Like I update every 10 minutes to read all the comments??
        Get real will you.

        Imagine being in the middle of a friendly conversation where you ask a question and the person says, “Why are you asking me?? Just google it.”

          Well, this is a forum, not an out-loud discussion, so those are 2 completely different scenarios

          They were also already given the link, so I guess:

          Imagine being in the middle of a friendly conversation where someone asks for something, you give it to them, and then they proceed to ask questions about it that could be answered by looking at the thing you gave them

          I’m not the OP, so I wasn’t having a conversation with them. But to me it gives off the vibe of “Random stranger, you should do all the work for me and provide all the answers, because I’m too lazy to do any of it myself.”

          Could just be me though 🤷
